And it would have worked, if you hadn't seen through me evil plan!!! (but seriously...) The attempt was to produce an objective measure of Maemo community citizenship. It's reasonable that the people chosing the council be community members. Simply creating a Maemo account, in my opinion, does not suffice for membership. As such, I consider having 12,000 people elligible to vote in this election a flaw of the system, rather than an advantage. I expect the voter turnout to be around 5% to 7%. Which isn't a success of democracy. I am, as I said before, open to discussions on *other* objective measures of community citizenship, but I do not think that flinging the doors open to all comers is a good thing if we want the council to be a representative body.
